You do not necessarily need any skills to begin Archery. For beginners, the most important thing is to understand and practice the rules of safety. Once you have advanced beyond learning the basics, you can start to work on shooting with proper form, aiming steady and shooting consistently.

One word: "Consistency". In order to have good consistency, the archer's shooting form must be consistent and repeatable.

There is no such thing as a "perfect" shooting form, as no two archers are identical, there is only "highly recommended" bio-mechanically efficient form, such as the BEST method taught by the Olympic head coach Kisik Lee.


A good archer has very strong set of back muscles, as back tension is a must for a good release of the string and a good follow through in order to complete the shot cycle.


A good archer has excellent ability to focus and block out anything mentally that could affect the shot.


A good archer doesn't forcefully aim at the target. A good archer shoot when the sight picture looks and feels right while the main focus remains on the shooting form itself.


A good archer has the necessary experience required to handle all kind of shooting condition.

A good archer also has an excellent check list for the shot cycle from start to finish of every shot.

Some of the best exercises for archery are dumbbell one-arm lateral raises, the rowing machine, overhead triceps extensions, barbell pullover, and lat pulldown exercises.
